A docker buildagent for Azure Devops using Visual Studio 2022 community edition.
I take no credit for any of this apart from making a few tweaks and bringing the following sources together to get a working docker image (that alone as been a big time effort put in from my end). I take no responsibility for any issues/harm/loss that arise from this so examine for yourself and use at own risk!
| Tag name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| devops_url | Your organization URL for Azure devops, eg. https://dev.azure.com/orgname/ |

Before getting started, make sure you're running Windows containers on docker.
docker build -t buildtools:latest -m 2GB .
If you get an error saying that...
Invoke-WebRequest : The remote name could not be resolved: 'aka.ms'
Try and run the command with the --network "Default Switch" parameter.
docker build -t buildtools:latest -m 2GB . --network "Default Switch"
